Humanscale Freedom Headrest Office Chair

Humanscale Freedom Headrest Office Chair designed by Niels Diffrient

This visionary concept of legendary American designer Niels Diffrient and Humanscale founder Robert King is a symphony of high-quality materials, well-thought-out functionality, and unparalleled ergonomics. Instead of overburdening the user with adjustable levers and knobs, it offers freedom of movement - thus the name. No matter if you sit upright or lean back and relax - the Humanscale Freedom follows the natural shape of the spine in every position and supports the head and neck at the same time. The armrests are optimally matched to the sitting position and can be adjusted in height effortlessly with a slight tilt. A wide range of colors and surface materials guarantees that the Humanscale Freedom Headrest adapts to both the working environment and its owner.

Why a Freedom Chair?

Innovative weight-sensitive, self-locking recline mechanism cleverly uses each sitter’s body weight to perfectly adjust the tension and recline position of the chair for full support throughout the movement.

Pivoting backrest automatically moves with the user throughout the day and offers perfect lumbar comfort in all positions. Synchronous armrests allow effortless adjustment with one hand and our unique arm design attaches to the backrest to move with the user.

Contoured cushions are sculpted to closely follow the body’s shape and offer long-term comfort, reduce pressure points and provide exceptional weight distribution
Modular design allows the user to update the aesthetic of the chair and offers easy maintenance.

A wide range of specifically created, high-performance textiles complement the chair’s unique cushion contours to maximize their comfort, performance, and ergonomic function.

The Freedom Headrest features dynamic support that cradles the head and neck during recline but remains neutral when in upright positions.
